A HERO dog that sniffed out survivors from the rubble of the World Trade Centre after the 9/11 disaster in New York is going to get cloned.
Trakr, a German Shepherd, owned by James Symington, will be cloned by a company based in California called BioArts International.
Competition
The lab picked the dog as the most "clone-worthy" canine in a competition offering an owner a free chance to replicate their pet.
The animal helped rescuers to find survivors from under the rubble of the World Trade Centre after the 2001 terror strikes.
BioArts said it would transport a sample of Trakr's DNA to the South Korean lab of its partner, the Sooam Biotech Research Foundation, and the clone could be ready by the end of this year.
